I remember Grandpa telling me that I was born as the sun was comin' up early in the morn.Told me I was born early in the morn.[Chorus:]When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on the far horizon early in the mornin'.It was early in the day when I set out to roam. Went to seek my fortune far away from home.I set out to roam far away from home.[Chorus]But today when I awoke I missed my darlin' so. Gotta have her by my side forever more I know.Need my darlin' so. Evermore I know.[Chorus]So tomorrow I'll be leavin' at the break of day. Gonna hurry to my love and there I'll always stay.At the break of day. There I'll always stay.[Chorus]
